Italtel, a leading player in Next-Generation Networks and Services, presents at Mobile Word Congress 2013 its products and solutions for All-IP interconnection and interoperability. NetMatch-S is the Italtel Session Border Controller (SBC) that provides all the necessary features to establish IP-based sessions among different networks, including very flexible functionalities and capabilities in terms of signalling and media handling.

Covering full support of IP Network-To-Network Interconnection between IMS/NGN domains, NetMatch-S provides unique SIP Business trunking and UNI (User Network Interface) features for both fixed and mobile environments.

The world market of carrier SBC products is estimated by Infonetics to have reached $324 million in 2012, with an expected compound annual growth rate of 14,4% during the 5 years through 2017.

On the side of Service Providers, there is the opportunity to monetize their network infrastructure by applying a selective treatment to data traffic flows across the network borders and differentiate QoS profiles for other SPs and OTTs. On the side of Enterprises and Public Administrations, there is a growing need to evolve from a basic voice communication approach to a broader set of services where mobility, video and more generally collaboration and a social networking can significantly improve the experience for both employees and citizens.

These requirements led Italtel to design the NetMatch product family, characterized by high performance, flexible scalability, extremely intuitive operation and low TCO.

"Future networks will be intelligent networks - said Stefano Pileri, Italtel CEO-. As a technology vendor, we have focused on developing two components that play a key role in this evolution: IMS, the intelligence that will govern networks, and SBC, the Session Border Controller that runs the interoperability between different networks, providing quality and safety. By combining our know how and our advanced professional services on IP networks, we deliver a solution that will support our customers in a smooth transition towards future networks".

NetMatch-S constitutes the optimal choice for both Service Providers and Enterprises to perfectly "match" and connect etherogeneous networks with full interoperability and "top-class" High Definition communications delivery.
